Hiring For Job Fit – How to Turn Perfect Candidates Into Successful Employees
Last week’s blog was all about how to find the unicorns in a sea of catfish (aka how to find the dream candidate who is honest and perfectly exemplifies integrity).
If you’re scratching your head at the terms “unicorn” and “catfish,” read the first part of our blog series here.
Today, we’re going to focus on the end of that blog title:
So you found your perfect candidate, but that is just half the battle! Next, you have to match this perfect candidate to your job opening.
When we’re hiring, we have specific needs. You may have found a perfect candidate who is honest, but if he or she doesn’t fit the job – it’s not going to work out and you will have wasted time and resources.
When you match the right person to the right job, you have created a formula for success! So how exactly do you do this? Well, you need to give your candidates an assessment for Job Fit (if they pass the Honesty-Integrity assessment).
The Job Fit assessment will give you a percentage to show you the degree of match for that candidate. But what exactly do these numbers mean?
Just remember: Measuring for job fit does not measure the skills necessary for the job (that is something you would need to talk about in an interview), but it will help you figure out whether your candidate has the ability to succeed in that job.
In the end, these two assessments will help you avoid wasting valuable time and effort training employees who are destined to be low performers. You will have made your decision and hired the person who is most likely to succeed in your job because they fit the job.
